Could I be pregnant?

Hi, I’m new to this site but I had intercourse with a guy a couple days ago a week before my period, but started lightly bleeding the next day and I’m getting lower cramps than usual along with lower back pains that never really occur during my usual period. I’m still bleeding, but it’s a different color and looks more like implantation bleeding and I’m still not supposed to start my period for another 4 days, could I be pregnant?! I’ve looked up heavy implantation bleeding and it is a thing, along with implantation bleeding happening the next day after conception, and that’s also a thing.

If you were ovulating around that time you could get pregnant.
IB isn't very common but it wouldn't occur 1 day after intercourse. It takes 6-9 days for the egg to implant.
If it was IB you would get a bfp 2-3 after it stops.

If it were me I would call it a weird period.

Sounds like a strange period to me too, if you are bleeding heavily. All you can really do to be sure is take a HPT (home pregnancy test) 2-3weeks after you last had unprotected sex. Are you trying to conceive with this guy...?

I wasn’t planning on having a kid at a young age, and I’ve never really had this bad of a scare, I just don’t want to mistake it being a period and find out that I’m actually pregnant.

However I do know someone who discovered ib the day after intercourse and ended up pregnant.

You can have IB after intercourse if you were pregnant, I was meaning if that was the only time you had sex and it was ovulation day the egg wouldn't have had time to implant in.1 day. The person you knew who had IB the day after sex probably ovulated nearly 2 weeks before and it just happened to be a coincidence.
If you had unprotected sex 2 weeks ago the bleeding could be IB if you were ovulating then.

We could speculate all we want on whether it was IB or AF. Truth of the matter is you are not for sure when you ovulated as I am sure you aren't tracking your BBT. So besides a HPT (home pregnancy test) in a couple days/weeks, nothing else can confirm it.

You had unprotected sex, so yes, of course there is a possibility you could be pregnant. Wait and test. And I would also suggest you decide what you plan to do in the future if you are not pregnant. Did you want to have baby with "some guy"? Does he want a baby? Also, if you guys aren't exclusive... Perhaps the best thing would be to use a condom, protect yourself from pregnancy and STDs. Just a thought...

GL when you do finally test. And just an FYI, even the most "normal" people can have wonky cycles where their bleeding and/or symptoms are different then they "usually" have... Again GL.
